Samuel L. Jackson, Eric Calderon And Boom! Studios Launch Cold Space This April
1 hostile planet.
2 warring factions.
Add an outlaw…
Seems like there’s some money to be made out in
Cold Space!
January 28th, 2009 – Los Angeles, CA – This
April, BOOM! Studios teams up with legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson
and Emmy nominated writer/producer Eric Calderon — the folks that
brought you the Emmy award-winning AFRO SAMURAI — to deliver their next original comic book series,
COLD SPACE. A hard-boiled sci-fi action-adventure with covers by Eisner
Award-winner Dave Johnson and IRREDEEMABLE cover artist Jeffrey Spokes,
COLD SPACE is sure to be the most talked-about comic of the spring.
COLD SPACE follows the adventures of an on-the-run outlaw as he
crash-lands on a hostile planet that is on the brink of civil war.
Finding himself in the crossfire between two warring factions, Mullbery
realizes that in chaos lies opportunity — because where there’s war,
there’s money to be made.
Samuel L. Jackson says, "I’m a long time comic reader and big fan of many genres in graphic novels
and manga – from crime thrillers, westerns, & super-hero books, to
samurai dramas, science fiction and horror. So I actually do read the
stuff – and lots of it. Now’s my chance to put my stamp on the medium
with something new, but with a classic taste of the stuff I already
like."
“It’s my honor
to continue my creative relationship with Samuel L. Jackson and to work
with the passionate people at BOOM! Studios,” said COLD SPACE co-writer
Eric Calderon. “I hope everyone will dig the excellent covers by Dave
Johnson, Jeffrey Spokes and the tight interior line work by Mr. Jeremy
Rock.”
“C’mon, who are
we kidding, this is a fanboy dream! Don’t pinch me, I don’t wanna wake
up!” said BOOM! Chief Executive Officer Ross Richie. “This is going to
be a straight-up blast!”
COLD
SPACE is a four-issue miniseries written by Samuel L. Jackson and Eric
Calderon with interior art by the sensational Jeremy Rock. The first
issue features two covers in a 50/50 split, with art by Dave Johnson
and Jeffrey Spokes, a 1-in-10 incentive cover and carries a Diamond
Code of FEB100744. Each issue will retail for .99.
